New releases: Hope's Revolutionary War Diaries 1-3

Red, White, and Blue! I'm happy to announce the re-release of Hope's
Revolutionary War Diaries #1-3, for young readers 7-10 years old.
Originally published by Scholastic for the My America series, they're
now available on Amazon, as an e-book and in paperback. Handsome new covers designed by Cody Rutty.

For research, I made several trips to Philadelphia and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. I love writing about Colonial America because some of my ancestors served in Washington's army -- and some fought for the British. The character of Miss Sarah is based on Betsy Ross, and the setting is on the cobbled street where she lived.

I hope you enjoy reading Hope's diaries as she describes school, a forbidden friendship and serving enemy soldiers when they quartered with her family.
